Comment:
While touring Arlington National Cemetery in October 1989, I found Audie Murphy by accident. As I was walking along the sidewalk west of the Memorial Amphitheater. I noticed one grave marker that had an American Flag at the headstone. As this was the only grave in the cemetery to be marked this way at the time, I approached to read the headstone. It read Audie Murphy. After paying my respects and continuing my tour I learned that his grave is the ONLY one to be allowed to display the Flag all year long. The Flag is only placed at the other graves on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Added: May 22, 2018
Comment:
Here at the National Museum of Pacific War we make history presentations to school groups during we show infanty weapons used in WWII. When we show and explain the M1 Carbine we ask the students if they know who Audie L. Murphy is? Seldom does any student recognise his name. We point out that he received the Medal of Honor and was the most decorated combat soldier in WWII; and the M1 Carbine was his favorite rifle. They leave here knowing a great deal more about this American hero. Added: May 9, 2018 Powered by PHP Guestbook - brought to you by PHP Scripts
